ArtWorks is an organisation dedicated to collaborative work and creative expression.
We produce and manufacture works and special projects for creators from various artistic fields, bringing together a multidisciplinary team of technical professionals, craftsmen and artists.
We provide comprehensive production services that range from consultancy and project management; to manufacturing in various techniques, materials, and scales; to transportation, and installation in galleries and art spaces. Additionally we have satellite projects which provide opportunities for creative experimentation and research, such as artist residencies or occasional support for artists and cultural institutions. Through an extensive network of professionals, our organization functions as a collaborative hub for expression, fabrication, and creative production.
In Situ
ArtWorks is part of the OTIIMA group, which brings together different manufacturing sectors with an innovation-oriented philosophy and a production infrastructure network focused on window frames and façades.
We envision a society where creative expression and artistic production are celebrated and supported, being fundamental to personal and civic development.
We view artistic creation as a collective practice of possibilities: when we make, experiment, explore, expand, and evolve. It is a process of dreaming up new possibilities for ourselves and the creators we work with, bringing about transformative potential.
As a space for creation, we provide an environment where people feel inspired, supported, and empowered to experiment and create within and outside our walls. Our mission is to unite creators to a skilled team of proffessionals who support their visions and projects in every step of the way.
ArtWorks is an organization specialized in art production that works with various national and international artists and institutions.
Among architects, engineers, cultural programmers, photographers, designers, visual artists, artisans, and specialized production technicians, a synergy of knowledge is applied according to the specific needs of each project. With a focus on development, ArtWorks encourages exploration, research, and experimentation using its resources, extending this opportunity to all members of its team. With this same purpose, we integrate artists into the production team, giving them access to all factory resources to support the development of their practice.
We thank and remember all those who have been part of our team:
Ana Brito, António Cunha, Francisco Crisóstomo, Gil Peixoto, Gil Madeira, Luiz Lopez, Liliana Ferreira, Luiz Azevedo, Alexandre Mota, Francisca Marques, Lola Rodrigues, Eduarda Dias, Paula Campos, Elias Schmitz, Ricardo Feliciano, Tiago Novais, Micaela Torres
We are open to collaboration proposals. ArtWorks has a policy of sharing its resources as a contribution to and responsibility towards the cultural sector.
Providing production support to artists and institutions has allowed us to expand our mission into new areas and build relationships with various agents in the national and international cultural landscape.
Our services are tailored to the profile of each project and collaboration, producing artworks, structures for music festivals and theatre companies, and supporting magazines and other contemporary cultural agents, such as art, design, or architecture biennals.
